Hey, is it that everything's an object, so you can just say 1234.56.toString() ? ISTR it is so in JavaScript, that even literals are actually objects (of type number, date, string etc).

Note that I had to relearn javascript every 2-3-4 years (used it so often :), and that I managed to push my way to retirement without ever learning .net; I can read C# and it's very amusing, in the amount of dance one has to write to satisfy the compiler. Spoiled by interpretive language, aren't we?
